I just did a d/l and burned a cd. of Fat Free Puppy and I could not get it to run first time using the command line "pfix=ram " it hung with a panic attack, after a re-boot and a change to a line code " puppy vga=785 pfix=ram " then away it went - great!

So now I want to add my own progs to give it a bit more meat, next
problem I can't get it to find my network card now to get on line for
the extras! The other versions of puppy found my net card ok!

the orginal puppylinux 2.17 doesn't work in virtual box so neither will fat-free-pup

if you want to test 2.17 virtual I will make it easy for you with the download links and my own custom command line code that you just have to paste at the console to make it all user friendly to test iso's this will work for any iso in the root only one iso can be in the root at a time and you must select xvesa its a known glitch with Qemu

nice tool to test iso's before you burn a CD

*********** the big_bass How to "easy way" to use Qemu on puppy *************
******************* test an iso before you install or burn a CD***********

1.) download this http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/dotpups/qemu.pup
2.) download this http://www.erikveen.dds.nl/qemupuppy/dotpups/sdl.pup
3.) install them
4.) move or download an "iso" to root that you plan to test in Qemu (only one)
5.) open the console copy and paste this command below

Hi tui i've been reading your thread and basically this thread is kind of a false negative towards fat free puppy and the problem that you encountered was that your download was corrupt and not Fat Free's fault in any manner, so since your problem is fixed, maybe you should ask to get this negative thread removed? thanks for your time. ttuuxxx

finally firefox that works and it auto updates the menu from the newly released version 3 puppylinux you can use them in 2.17 fat free sort of a cross breed

I call them ' power pets ' the pets from version 3 puppylinux that work in fat-free-pup

Important update ! do you want the new firefox for version 3 puppylinux came out yesterday ? well I have excellent news for you fat-free-pup has no browser so the new version 3 puppylinux pet works fine with fat-free and it auto adds to the menu I am using it now

1.)install a temporary browser of your choice with pet-get
2.) then use one of the new version 3 pets from the official puppylinux site
